Speed

2 to fix93
  • Reduce unused JavaScript

    300 ms · 56 KiB

    About 56 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 300 ms faster on a phone.

  • Render-blocking requests

    300 ms

    1 file blocks the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining it could save about 300 ms.

  • Legacy JavaScript

    100 ms · 14 KiB

    Polyfills for old browsers add 14 KiB JavaScript that modern phones do not need. Google estimates it would make the page about 100 ms faster on a phone.

  • 1 long task on the main thread

    1 long task block the main thread while loading, the longest for 97 ms. During a long task the page ignores taps.

  • Chained critical requests

    Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

  • Forced reflow

    Scripts make the browser recalculate the layout repeatedly while the page loads, which wastes processor time on phones.

3 checks passed
  • Mobile performance score: 93

    93/100

    Your mobile performance score is 93. That is in Google's “good” band (90 and up).

  • Main-thread work: 1.6 s

    A phone's processor spends 1.6 s on main-thread work while loading, 530 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.

  • Server response: 2 ms

    2 ms

    Your server sent the HTML in 2 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.

Core Web Vitals

  • Speed Index: 4.3 s

    4.3 s

    Visually, the page fills in at 4.3 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.

  • Largest Contentful Paint: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    Your largest element takes 2.7 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Mote Software invests in early-stage startups and builds th…”. Most of its time is element render delay (2.7 s).

  • Not enough real-visitor data yet

    Chrome's UX Report (opens in a new tab) has too little real-visitor traffic for this site, so the figures here are lab measurements from Google's test phone on a throttled 4G connection.

4 checks passed
  • First Contentful Paint: 1.5 s

    1.5 s

    The first text or image appears after 1.5 s, inside the 1.8 s “good” threshold.

  • Time to Interactive: 2.7 s

    2.7 s

    The page is fully interactive after 2.7 s.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift: 0

    0

    The layout barely moves while loading (CLS 0, good is under 0.1).

  • Total Blocking Time: 47 ms

    47 ms

    Scripts block the page for only 47 ms while loading. Good is under 200 ms.

Images and page weight

100
  • About 0.08 g of CO₂ per visit

    0.08 g

    By the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.08 g of CO₂e: 9.4 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.

1 checks passed
  • Page weight: 282 KiB in 23 requests

    282 KiB

    Your homepage downloads 282 KiB in 23 requests on a phone: scripts 207 KiB (10), other files 31 KiB (10) and fonts 21 KiB (1). That is a lean page.

Accessibility

Google 100100
1 checks passed
  • 40 automated accessibility rules passed

    axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 40 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 40 passed and 0 failed. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.

SEO

4 to fixGoogle 10081
  • Title is long (80 characters)

    Your title is 80 characters, so Google will cut it off around 60: “Mote Software — Pre-seed investment and product builds for early-stage founders.”.

  • Meta description is long (163 characters)

    Your meta description is 163 characters; Google truncates after about 160, so the end of your pitch is cut.

  • No social preview image

    No Open Graph image, so links shared on LinkedIn, Slack or Facebook show no preview picture.

  • No robots.txt

    There is no robots.txt at usemote.org/robots.txt, the first file search crawlers ask for.

  • 24 internal links, 0 external

    The homepage links to 24 pages on usemote.org and 0 external pages.

4 checks passed
  • One H1 headline

    Your main headline reads: “Build it now.Pay when you raise.”.

  • Canonical URL set

    The canonical URL is https://usemote.org/.

  • Structured data in place

    Structured data found: Organization.

  • XML sitemap found

    Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://usemote.org/sitemap.xml.

AI search readiness

100
  • No llms.txt

    There is no https://usemote.org/llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.

2 checks passed
  • Organization data: 4 of 6 facts

    Your Organization JSON-LD gives name, url, description and contact details; logo and sameAs (social profiles) would complete it.

  • Text is in the HTML

    Your server sends the page's text in the HTML (796 words), so crawlers that don't run JavaScript still read it.

Other pages

100
  • 8 internal pages checked

    We fetched 8 pages linked from your homepage and read each the way a search engine does.

7 checks passed

  • Every page has a meta description

  • Titles are unique

    Every page we checked has its own title.

  • Every page has an H1

    Each page we checked has a main headline.

  • No linked page is hidden from search

    None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.

  • Every page has a title

    All 8 pages that loaded have a <title>.

Best practices

1 to fixGoogle 9293
  • 1 JavaScript error while loading

    1 error was logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Loading the script 'https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js/vce701823e78c4301a35b7e07294d87301792088814092'…”.

  • Browser-reported issues

    Chrome logged issues while loading the page (“Content security policy”).

2 checks passed
  • Tap targets are thumb-sized

    6 of 7 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.

  • Mobile viewport set

    The page declares a mobile viewport.

Content and conversion

5 to fix50
  • No call to action on the first screen

    On a phone, there is no call to action on the first screen: visitors have to scroll to find out what to do next.

  • No social proof

    No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.

  • Local business without LocalBusiness data

    Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.

  • No phone number on the homepage

    A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.

  • No direct contact details

    No phone number or email link on the homepage, so ready-to-buy visitors have one fewer way to reach you.

  • No opening hours

    The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.

  • No form on the homepage

    There is no form on the homepage, so every lead has to click through to another page first.

  • No map or directions link

    There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.

  • No risk reducer

    No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.

  • About 782 words of copy

    The homepage carries about 782 words of visible text.

2 checks passed
  • 4 calls to action

    The homepage has 4 calls to action, for example “Talk to us”, “Get in touch” and “Contact”.

  • Analytics in place

    Analytics detected: Cloudflare Web Analytics.

Privacy and tracking

  • No consent tool detected

    No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.

1 checks passed
  • No known trackers before consent

    No known advertising or analytics trackers load before a visitor clicks anything (measured from a US location before any click).

Security, domain, email and software versions

The security, domain and email checks, software and plugin versions, and any app with a known security problem are visible only to people at usemote.org, because details like these could help someone attack a site. Every review keeps them private, whatever they found.
